cxt Professional Poster Registered: 09/11/03 Posts: 5767 Loc: USA	Master So internal energy is just strength, stamina and speed? Then as Seiken has already pointed out--why bother with another word? Makes little sense. _________________________ I did battle with ignorance today.......and ignorance won. Huey.

The rest is for others to explain. Like drugs to boost performance? You wouldnt be comparing chi to PDE5 inhibitors at all would you? If so I doubt if there is any provable evidence. If there were teachers of chi would be worth a fortune.

The_Master Banned. With extreme prejudice. Registered: 04/21/08 Posts: 145 Loc: Australia. aka The Down Under	My 'opinion' of Qi, is that it is mere internal energy that can be used....when fighting to increase performance. maybe i should 'try' it out. _________________________ Use no way as way: JKD.

If someone in the gym stated that to me what would I say? Here is what I would say; Just like that? Think chi? Do you mean go and find a place (some where) that you know you would have to defend your self? Not a clever move? Imagination might increase performance that a person would be physicaly capable of in the first place. But either way physical restrictions will limit what ever a person is doing. So I suggest go running first, or run faster and farther. Then its creating a training plan. Then forget fighting unless it is competition and train. While your training think about chi, but it is not recomend giving it to much thought while sparring. Then carry on with my reps. Jude
